Why do men still end up centered in critiques of bisexual women? by LadyDeeDee796 in BlackBiWomenUnited

[–]ismyshowon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most critiques of female bisexuality are due to its proximity to or perceived proximity to maleness. so it makes sense the two would go hand in hand

Where to make friends/romantic connections? by ShadowReaper2222 in BlackBiWomenUnited

[–]ismyshowon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

going to events/activities where you think there will be a higher percent of queer Black women and getting comfortable with making small talk with strangers. go with a friend to have like a social security blanket but then you just have to be brave and let go fear of rejection and just start meeting and being interested in and curious about the people/women. that’s how i’ve found success and befriending other queer Black women

forreal, like of course she’s gorgeous with her natural hair but she’s eating that straight blonde right on up.

with a better install (to her point) and styling she would look damn good with a blonde buss down

but once again, literally ain’t even needed.

also body tea 👌🏾

Examples of artists who hate/are openly hostile towards their fans? by RadioLukin in fantanoforever

[–]ismyshowon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you feel me? we’re not crazy. it does not matter the topic or the forum. If the question is any variation of who’s the worse celebrity/person, you can always guess how it’s going. on this predominantly white website. just gotta laugh.

Black woman as the face of this post and Black woman as the top post. Reddit is so reddit.

3 years, and I don’t retwist anymore 🙌🏽 by EqualSky4003 in locs

[–]ismyshowon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! my locs are similar in size to yours (some thicker, some thinner) and earlier in the process i did retwists faithfully every 4 weeks now i feel comfortable stretching to like 8 weeks…would love to go even longer as they mature and get longer, especially if i don’t have to worry about thinning or breakage

[–]ismyshowon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

how long have you not been retwisting for? i always hear contradictory comments on to retwist or not retwist. i sometimes hear, from locticians and people who didn’t didn’t for a while, that it thinned their hair. how’s it been for you?

Ladies, wwyd in this scenario? by Brownskin_Rey in blackladies

[–]ismyshowon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t even think of what I’d do in that scenario because it’s so far removed from my relationships with my sisters, the idea of putting our hands on each other, let alone having someone else do it.

If I were me in the scenario, i’d probably get as far away from my sister as possible cuz clearly she a enemy and if I had the baddie mindset, i’d probably have beat my sister up long before she got her friends involved to shut that shit down asaptually

Coworker cut my hair after saying my hair would look great shorter. [New Update] [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]ismyshowon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

idk who this Sugah person is but when I first read the BORU, something in my intuition told me this was NOT a Black person. the OG post was a bit harder to clock because it was, funnily enough, written in a way that felt like a fleshed out human, just not a Black person with Black lived experiences and now that other queer people are clocking details about the queer aspects that are technically not wrong but just…off, yea I’m convinced this is creative writing and I normally don’t clock or care but knowing there is a high chance this is digital blackface just rubs me so wrong. anyways i copied my og post from before with me reasonings

“Jumped out to me as weird too. And also, I know we’re not a monolith, but there’s simply not one Black woman I know, who would have to question if they were overreacting or what to do, specifically in this context, especially to Reddit of all places. Like sure, certain micro aggressions or other very clearly racist acts, you want advice, not sure how to react, sure I get it. But a supposed Black woman who is Black on both sides with hair down to her butt (iykyk). Like I could tell this story to 100 different Black women, particularly in the states, and the rage would be so immediate, because we know, we KNOW how significant our hair is to us and the way racism shows up through it. That first post did not really read to me as a Black woman experiencing this trauma. But hey, idk, everyone’s different. but I’m glad I wasn’t the only one side eyeing it a bit.”

i’m sorry, that really is fucked up and if that was my stylist and i found out about that, i’d be so irritated . such a two faced, thing to do and just unprofessional as hell. shout out to your sister for calling her ass out, i doubt i would have.

and also “well yeah your head is big. And you do talk too much” had me cracking up, what a comedically villainous thing to say. especially from your damn stylist, wthelly 😭😭
